This seems to be an intentional design desicion on the part of the
chrome developers.

I have linked the upstream bug report requesting the reinsertion of
'backspace'

In the meantime, please use this extension (which will enable the
behavior for you):

Title:
  Unable to go back by pressing the Backspace key.

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Backspace usually has the function of going back a page. Similar to
  pressing the Back Arrow button on the top left (Chromium 15.0.x).

  Unfortunately, this is not the case.
  Nothing happens when the Backspace key is pressed.

  Alt+LeftArrow key combination does work. However, the use of Backspace
  should also be a part of the originally intended key bindings for this
  action.
